Additional Information

This behavior is as-designed. Water symbols have partial transparency and for partially-transparent symbols, the ordering of layers in Contents pane is used to ensure correct draw order of objects in the scene. If you remove transparency from the symbol color then you will no longer see this problem OR you can reorder the layers in the Contents pane to resolve the issue. The same behavior can be seen with a non-water symbol too if transparency is added to symbol color.

Workaround

  • In the Contents Pane, under 3D Layers, drag the Water layer below the tree layer (3D feature). Ensure the water layer is always below the 3D layer in the Contents pane.
  • Make use of any other symbology for water other than Ocean Water, Murky water and Tropical Water symbology.
